Wo aber ihr Mann ihr wehrt des Tages, wenn er's hört, so ist ihr Gelübde los, das sie auf sich hat, und das Verbündnis, das ihr aus den Lippen entfahren ist über ihre Seele; und der HERR wird ihr gnädig sein.
Mas todo voto de viuda, o repudiada, con que ligare su alma, será firme.
El voto de una viuda o de una divorciada, toda obligación con que se haya obligado a sí misma, seguirá firme para ella.
Le voeu d'une femme veuve ou répudiée, l'engagement quelconque par lequel elle se sera liée, sera valable pour elle.
Ma, quant’è al voto della vedova, o della ripudiata, tutto ciò a che si sarà obbligata sopra l’anima sua, sarà fermo contro a lei.
No tocante ao voto da viúva, ou da repudiada, tudo com que ligar a sua alma, sobre ela será válido.
寡婦或被休的婦人所許的願,她所有約束自己的話,都是有效的。
